Interview with BIGGER THAN JESUS ahead of their Debut @ Subway City this Saturyday...

This article is about AFTERS @ Subway City in Birmingham (UK), Sat 25 Aug 2007

Ez lads, firstly, your name, Bigger than Jesus? Where did the name come from and what qualities would you say you both have that compare you to the big man (Jesus)?

Pete: It was a famous quote from John Lennon, when he said ‘the Beatles were bigger than jesus. We’d been sat there for hours trying to agree on a name together. We wanted a name that stood out and that everyone remembered, so ‘Bigger Than Jesus’ just stuck. As for qualities shared, us and the big man both have large
juicy mangos.

Nick: It’s just total tongue in cheek and find it amusing that some people take it seriously. We do believe however that techno is bigger than jesus

If you had the miracle powers like Jesus, what would you turn water into?

Nick: Ice

Pete: tranquilisers to sedate Nick

You’ve been playing (along side/DJing) with some pretty hefty DJ’s over the past year inc Switch, Phil Kieran, Fergie, Shonky etc, what DJ past or present would you like to have a session with on the dex?

Adam Beyer holds a god like status in both our eyes, so we'd have to say him.

If ya don’t mind me saying so, you productions atm are off the hook, we’re loving you work. What other techy beasts have you got in store for us in the future?

Thanks very much. We’ve just wrote our Projekt 3 ‘Big Beef’ remix which has been going off it when we’ve been dropping it in our sets, and it was also played on Mistress De Funk’s Radio 1 show a few weeks ago. Rich from Audiojack text us the other day, saying it took the roof off at their gigs in Romania and Barcalona too, which is wicked.

I love how we can sit down and write exactly what we feel and people still get a kick out of it….! That’s one of the whole reasons for doing all this….

After speaking to a number of people about you both, I have come to terms with the fact you are both complete party animals... What would be you ideal party and where would it be?

Pete: Hahahahaha, our reputation obviously precedes us! Mine would be Hugh Hefners pad, me surrounded by Playboy girls, Adam Beyer DJ’ing and midgets walking around with trays of ket.

Nick: Haha! Yeah we love a good session lol. Mine would probably have to be hosted by animal from the Muppets set at the enchanted forest from Hansel and Gretel where all the houses were made from disco sweets with Steven Hawkins doing the after dinner speech.

How would you describe your current music and where do you get your inspirations from?

We were DJ’ing down in London last weekend and someone described our music as ‘Militant Techno’, which we kinda liked. We just make the music we love and people seem to get off on it. Inspiration wise, we draw influences from techno artists such as Adam Beyer, Len Faki, Paul Ritch and Shonky. Right through to other artists like The Clash and the Sex Pistols.

If Paris Hilton asked you if you wanted her babies what would you say?

Nick: She’d have to suck my cock first then if I enjoyed it she’d have to pay me and then eat her own poo.

Pete: Well I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crisps.

Diesel or G-Star Raw?

Pete: Neither, it’s all about my skinny ‘Cheap Monday’ jeans from Sweden and my vintage Skinny-fit Levi 501’s.

Nick: I like wearning my vintage skinny fit horses out fit which i bought from scotland.....on a cheap tuesday

Blow up doll or animals?

Pete: Does Animal from the muppet’s count?

Nick: Animals they are much warmer innit.

Cheers lads, this Saturday is gonna be off the hook.... Can't wait for your set, until then see ya later xDRx
